It allows people to pick which project they want their donations to go to. Projects include new tennis courts, drumline equipment and risers for the choir. The district hopes to encourage people to give by sharing success stories on the website.

The online portal does not have a timeline or total price tag. Some projects have money goals, while others don’t.
